Mr. P. was a very enterprising gentleman, and very active in his exertions to promoto the success of public improvements, lie was a very useful mac, and will be misled by tfce community of which he was a member 10 ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN. NOTICE l hereby given to ill young men who have any thing to do at home, not to com to Raleigh for office this winter. You may have thought that office is a fine, nice, fat thing, very tempting and very convenient, especially for grown np youngsters who like a brandy swash and dixlikc work; but we can tell 'em "itaint no si ch a thine." The offices that's going now-a day are poor and lean, and only learn petiple habits of laziness. Living is very dear in Raleigh, and, moreover, the place has been slightly unhealthy the past season.? But above alt, the offices are all bespoke and promised several times over. So don't pester yourselves to come to Raleigh, this winter, with the hope and expectation of making a fortune.

Now, our deliberate opinion is, as the result of some observation in iheee matters, that no one ever obtained wealth, or even contentment or real comfort, by either seeking or holding office. It is a business which promises well, but does not pay. If a man be a farmer, or a shopkeeper, or a mechanic, let bim, as a general rule, remain so ; and we tell him in advance that if he should not, he will have reason, sooner or later, to regret iu Office seeking unsettles habits of attention and labor disposes one to think that there is an easier way to live than by work, and makes one, born to a heritage of manhood and independence. more or less dependent on tbe smiles and frowns of those in power ; and omoe holding, in nine cases out of ten, not only entails all this upon a man, but, when he returns to his former bus iness, be nnds himself out of practice, unskill ed, behind tbe times, and under tbe necessity of making a new start in the world We regret to see this thirst for office on the in crease. Ooe iarty ia no more to blame for it, so far as we oan perceive, than another ; it is the same under both. Let the young men of the country determine to rely on their own re sour ces of energy and integrity ; let them rather shun than seek umce -, let tnem oe men, with a few dollars in their pockets, in preference to be ing dependents and waiters on the great with hundreds of dollars per annum tor an income If an office comes to any of tbem fairly, and if its duties do not conflict with regular business we do not say they oozbt not to accept it ; but save tbe manhood and the morals of the country from this general rush for office and place 1 rve nave looaea upon it, anu neara oi it, ana thought about it at odd times when we had a little leisure to bestow upon it, until, as the Frenchman observed, we "are one grand dis gust." While we wish that these magnanimous sen-; timents may be rewarded, as they deserve, we nevertheless, from a principle of fairness, feel ' constrained to give the following from the "Salis bury Watchman :" "Almost every third man you meet is in search; of an office ! !" Of course these third men are Democrats, for we do not suppose there are any Whigs so verdant as to suppose that they have' any chance for office, while thore is such an overflow of democracy in the Legislature of this State and in Congress. "Every third man you meet 1 1" I Well, you will of course meet some Whigs permit us to suppose at least one-third of tbe population of the country, and especially of our State, are Whigs : These taken out of the Standard's estimate, the fact of the case is made to be, that one half of the democracy are office seekers. Surely, we agrve with the Standard, that this is an intense thirst for office, and well does it deserve the Standard's rebuke. This pure and patriotic party, that was so indignant at Whig greed, and Whig monopolies, have not got into the genial precincts of their coming as cendaocy ibetore they are making a rush for the spoils that causes their organ to cry out shame upon their indecent nomng tor tbe spoils. ilut what else did the standard expect T lias he not all along been holding out to young as pirants of the btate the temptation of profit and ioi(r as an inducement tor them to become Democrats ? Have not the leaders of that party upenly plied them with the same lures ? Did uot brother iigg, in a snaa Denied coat, ana with a snuffling twang of commiseration, exhort the young Whigs to desert and come over to the generous party to which be belonged, under the promise that their merits would not be over .ookod, as they bad been by the Whigs ? And iiow is it not a pretty tale, when they come for ard (though it be with a rush) to be told you can't com ml t j "Let the young men of tbe country determine o rely on their own resources ; let them rather .Ann thknaoA office.

We have been disap pointed in not receiving from some friend an account of the recent interesting Agricultural Fair, at Henderson. We subjoin the following brief sketch of it from the " South-side Demo crat," of Petersburg : " The first annual Fair of the Granville Ag ricultural Society was held in tbo town of Hen derson, on the 4th and 5th inst., and we learn from a friend, who was present, passed off most delightfully.. Tbe planters of Uranville were out enmasse, and the neighboring counties were also well represented. The weather was most auspicious, and the pleasure of the occasion was greatly enhanced by the presence of the gentle sex, whoformeda very large and interesting por tion of the company assembled. Floral Hall was filled with specimens of beautiful paint ines, embroideries, domestic cloths, jellies, and a host of pretty things that reflected tbe highest credit upon the fair exhibitors. The stock of all sorts was very good, and our friend informs us he saw there more handsome oolta and hor ses than he supposed could be found in any one countv in the State. The regular address was delivered by Edwin G. Reade, Esq.. of Person, and was well suited to the occasion, and was creditable to its author. We are not now in possession of a list of the premiums awarded, but shall be shortly, and ... . , j will take pleasure in laying it oeiore our reau it stood that Messrs. Denver' and Herbert, the nominees of. the Anti-Electlonist Convention, are elected beyond contingency. So far as heard from, they are considerably ahead. A rumor was, however, prevalent this morning, that Mr. BoWie, one of tbe Whig candidates, would be elected by a very small majority. The rebuke received by tho Eieottonists, however, in all parts of the state, was emphatie and de- i . : i o, . . . . . l ciaea. An toe iuuuicipa xjicumoub diiuw woa quite a different turn. Just previous to tbe election rumors were circulated with reference to the orKaoix&tion of tbe Know Nothings all over the State, and it was expected that their influence would be telt to some extent. Throughout tbe State these expectations were realised, but in San Francisco they carried all before tbem. The Electionist City and County Couveutions met and nominated members for the Legislature and City and County Officers. Tbe Anti-EleotionMts did likewise, but another split here took place, and tbe Seoeders organ isd a third Convention and pot in nomination a kiad of hvbrid ticket composed of tbe other two. Tbo Whigs held t&cir Contention, and formed a ticket. The Association known as the Cuidado put forward another list of names for tbe suffrages of the people) Certain indivi duals calling themselves "The People" hung out another banner. The Know Nothings nominated a ticket of their own, but it having subsequently transpired that their nominee for tbe Mayoralty, Mr. Luoien Uerrman, an esti mable citizen and well known in the communi ty, was a Roman Catholic, they repudiated the first ticket;; and nominated another. So there were, to a certain extent, two Know Nothing tickets. There was, lastly, a Know Something ticket. During the election in this city the most intense excitement prevailed. Rumors of corruption, bribery and ballot-box stuffing were rife. Several fights took place, and several per sons were 'wounded. Attempts were made to destroy the ballot-boxes in some of the Wards, and tbe popular indignation became so greAt that tbe most serious consequences were ap prehended.
